I forgive easily ....


...... And try my best too forget as well .....


But also try to remember the lesson I have learnt ....

I think if we don't forgive and forget .....

We will never be able to move on in a healthy manner .....


Plus who wants to spend time holding grudges ......


Not me wine

I can forgive and forget if the situation/circumstances are justified, but when it's not... No I cannot... but over time, and the memory fades... maybe...

If a person is genuinely sorry for what they have done then yes.
If it is only words with no meaning then no, it's easy to say sorry , but to mean it is a different matter.

I would guess the out come for forgetting would be pretty low judging by the bitterness shown on this site from many members

forgiving is to help you as an individual, not to admonish the other persons guilt, so yes I can forgive.

I don't think one needs to hear the words sorry from other in order to forgive .....


Forgiveness comes from within ....
People do and say things out of stupidity, anger, ignorance or the mear fact of being a new soul.

We need to be the bigger person ...

Not forgiving someone means we hold a grudge/anger within us ... Its not worth it most of the time ... As that other person could be pretty happy with their lives ....

So releasing that burden helps a lot ... And makes one feel lighter ... You can fill that space with happy stuff like love ...... wine

Yes I can forgive or else I would be a bitter person but forgetting is not really an option. Memories fade and become less but can never really be forgotten. Now if we are talking cheating...I could never forgive, once you've broke that trust there is no going back..period end of discussion.

If someone cheats on you ..... You will be a fool to stay in the relationship ..... Forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to take them back .... You forgive them for what they have done to you ..... Learn your lesson and move on ..... Less baggage to carry into the next relationship ....

Very well spoken Nessa and I agree. I've never been cheated on but I would like to think I could forgive but that's one thing I don't know if I could. Hopefully I will never have to find out.

I easily do forgive but it takes time for me to forget, and this depends on the severity of the circumstances.

thumbs up

Genuine forgiveness (not just paying lip service to it) has one result: no matter how many times you re-run the "event" again in your mind after forgiveness has taken place, ALL of the feelings that were attached to THAT event or other similar ones, DISAPPEAR, they don´t exist anymore, there´s no more churning, no more uneasiness, no more hurt, no more anger, no more outrage ... It doesn´t have the power to destroy your internal peace anymore!!!

I meant to add ...

after genuine forgiveness, it´s not necessary to forget ... for the reasons I explain in my above post.

It depends on what each persons idea of forgivness is. In my idea it means putting that person out of your mind and not allowing them to take up even one second of your thoughts.
